The rich aroma of meat wafts down from the hillside, mixed with the warm air, which makes people a little lazy, and they don't want to do anything but drink a good pot of wine and feast.

Gao Daquan said goodbye to Liu Xiaomei, and was finally stopped by Tan Hu, and they drank wine and ate meat together on the hillside.

Xu Ping rose step by step, and these subordinates also rose with the tide. Needless to say, Tan Hu has made up for his official position, and now he is on an equal footing with the Zhizhai of Taipingzhai. When Xu Ping leaves office, he will either follow Xu Ping back to the mainland to study in high school, and stay in Lingnan to find a job in the nearby state. As for Gao Daquan and Sun Qilang, Xu Ping was unwilling to let them be a small military attache with no future, and they had no formal ministry, and they were both turned by Xu Ping into the office work of the sugar cane business. It's just an errand and no official body, but Sun Qilang is in charge of all kinds of machinery and tools workshops, and Gao Daquan is in charge of the construction outside, such as building roads and bridges, barrage and damming, all of which are ministries with real power, not to mention in Taipingzhai, that is, in the entire Yongzhou, they are all figures with heads and faces.

It is also Gao Daquan's identity that the external rich businessman is very stammered with him, and the celebrity next to the promotion officer casually leaks a little bit between his fingers, which is enough for others to eat their brains full of fat.

The only thing that hasn't changed is Huang Tianbiao, he has completely lost his thoughts about adding officials to the knighthood, and all his thoughts are on business, and he has become one of the few outsiders in Yongzhou City. has an official position on his body, and has all kinds of care for Xu Ping's old feelings, and he can't get on his unlucky errands, and the more he passes, the more he is free.

Xu Ping didn't feel anything about himself, but in fact, the old brothers who followed him unknowingly became a pivotal force in Yongzhou. Whether in public or private, in Yongzhou now, except for Feng Shenji, the governor of Yongzhou, everyone else has to give these old brothers a little face. It's like a big tree, just feel that it is not easy to earn a drop of sunshine and water, and if you don't pay attention, there is a forest under you.

Liu Xiaomei sent Gao Daquan away and returned to the stream to worry about her brother, a little depressed.

Xiuxiu secretly looked at Liu Xiaomei several times, and saw that she had been ignoring herself, and finally couldn't help it: "Sister, what did Big Brother Gao say that made you unhappy?" Did it make you angry? ”

"No, how could he make me angry?"

Liu Xiaomei said casually, but the sadness between her eyebrows could be seen by everyone.

Xiuxiu sneered: "Brother Gao, although he doesn't speak much, his heart is very good, and he really won't make people unhappy." But sister, it's obviously something difficult for you to do this! ”

Liu Xiaomei sighed: "It's not about Brother Gao, it's still my brother who is troublesome." ”

Xiuxiu hates Liu Xiaomei's brother the most, last time she put Liu Xiaomei in danger, she was also said by Xu Ping countless times because of her good intentions, and she is still very tightly controlled.

Gritting her teeth, Xiuxiu said to Liu Xiaomei: "Sister, let me tell you, your brother is really not a good person." As the saying goes, wolves travel thousands of miles to eat meat, dogs travel thousands of miles to eat, and that person will never be able to change well in this life. It's not that I'm talkative, you stay away from that person in the future, otherwise I don't know what trouble you'll get into! ”

Liu Xiaomei knew Xiuxiu's emotions and smiled: "I know." ”

Xiuxiu rolled her eyes and asked Liu Xiaomei again: "Sister, when will you and Brother Gao get married?" I'm still waiting for the wedding drink! To tell the truth, Brother Gao is also alone, there is no one else in the family, and the official can call the shots for him, and he doesn't have to wait until he goes back to the Central Plains! ”

"What do you know as a little child? Don't worry about the adults! ”

"I'm fifteen years old, and I'm not a kid anymore! Sister Su'er was allowed to be married when she was my age, and she will be married in two months, but it's a pity that I can't drink her wedding wine when I go back! ”

Liu Xiaomei looked at Xiuxiu's annoyed look, pursed her lips and smiled: "Yes, Xiuxiu is not young anymore, it's time to find a mother-in-law!" Which offspring do you fall in love with, I'll match you up. ”

Xiuxiu pursed her lips and said: "I am the person next to the official, where can I marry casually!" ”

Liu Xiaomei listened, hehe, straight and happy, and laughed back and forth.

Since she was sold into the Xu family, Xiuxiu has been by Xu Ping's side for seven or eight years, and she has long been used to this kind of day, and she feels that this is a natural thing, I don't know what Liu Xiaomei is laughing at, and she doesn't pay attention to her anymore.

But I don't know that in Lingnan, Fujian, in addition to referring to Xiuxiu, a personal maid, there is also a special meaning. Xiuxiu didn't know when she was young, but Liu Xiaomei had heard about it.

The sun rises higher, the sun shines brighter, and the scenery in front of you becomes more and more radiant.

Duan Yunjie looked at Liu Xiaomei and Xiuxiu who were together, and sighed: "Sometimes I really envy the two of them, they are carefree, they laugh when they want to laugh, they cry when they want to cry, how pleasant!" ”

"There is nothing in the world, and mediocrity disturbs itself, because you think too much."

Hearing Xu Ping's words, Duan Yunjie smiled and said, "It turns out that you laughed at me for being a mediocre person." ”

"We are all mediocre people, in this red dust world, what fun is there if you don't be mediocre?"

"You don't usually hate those Taoist monks the most, but I didn't expect to realize this kind of Zen machine."

"Those who call this ordinary secular truth Zen machine are all nonsense used to deceive people, how can those Taoist monks who pretend to be mysterious not make people annoyed? The vulgarity in the red dust, but I don't know that this vulgarity is the greatest pleasure of being a man. It's good to be reincarnated directly into plants and trees like that, so why waste this pair of skins! To be a human being, you have to enjoy the pleasure of being a human being, but being a human being keeps saying that people are vulgar, isn't it hypocrisy? ”

Duan Yunjie said with a smile: "But I didn't expect that you could still say that the vulgar is elegant, but I don't know if you can do things so freely by yourself." ”

Xu Ping shook his head with a smile: "Now that you are in the red dust, why bother talking about elegance again?" Since he is a layman in the red dust, he is entangled in all kinds of fetters in the red dust, how can he be free and easy? ”

Duan Yunjie looked at Xu Ping, smiling slightly, but feeling a little melancholy in her heart. She liked the willfulness of the person in front of her in the red dust, but that kind of fetters made her unable to see the road ahead.

There was the laughter of Xiuxiu and Liu Xiaomei, Duan Yunjie got up as soon as she entered, and said to Xu Ping: "The two of them are so happy, let's go over and join in the fun." ”

Xu Ping shook his head and followed Duan Yunjie to walk towards the two.

When she arrived, Duan Yunjie asked Xiuxiu, who was bowing her head and sullen, "What are you two doing here?" ”

Xiuxiu's mouth was fast, and she hurriedly replied: "Brother Gao came over just now, I asked Sister Liu Xiaomei if she came to discuss the marriage date with her, when will Brother Gao marry her and enter the door, my sister couldn't stop laughing!" ”

Liu Xiaomei was stunned for a moment and grabbed Xiuxiu's arm: "You little girl, when did you learn to make up this kind of nonsense?" If you are young, you must learn well! ”

Xiuxiu raised her head and ignored Liu Xiaomei at all.

Duan Yunjie said: "Xiuxiu is also good, little sister, you are also old, you should think about when you will get married, it is not a way to drag it out like this." ”

Liu Xiaomei lowered her head and whispered, "What do you say about me?" I'm a little younger than Mrs. Duan. ”

Hearing this, Duan Yunjie's smile froze on her face, and the atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.

Xiuxiu was anxious and whispered to Liu Xiaomei: "Sister, how can you say that?" Sister Duan's fairy-like person, how can people like us compare? Nothing makes her happy! ”

Liu Xiaomei apologized to Duan Yunjie embarrassedly: "I said the wrong thing, sister, don't take it to heart." ”

Duan Yunjie smiled: "It's the truth, where is the fault." But I do not have the same as you, and I have more important things on my body, so I am not qualified to talk about them. ”

Xu Ping came up from behind and asked, "What are you talking about here?" So happy! ”

Duan Yunjie said: "Xiuxiu said that Gao Daquan came to talk to Xiaomei about the marriage period just now, and she was so happy that she sang and sang non-stop, we are talking about I don't know which day is an auspicious day." ”

Xu Ping said with a smile: "This is a happy event, it is rare for Gao Daquan to open up this piece of wood." As the saying goes, it's better to choose a day than to hit the day, but the two of them are still in their own hands, so let's do it in these two months. ”

Liu Xiaomei said hurriedly: "Where did we say this just now?" Just Xiuxiu's mouth is broken, and she still makes up nonsense even if she doesn't know it, don't listen to her-"

Xu Ping waved his hand: "No need to explain, I understand, you girls are shy and embarrassed to say it." You can rest assured, Gao Daquan has been with me for many years, and I know my character best, and I will definitely not let you down! It's just these two months, you choose a day to do happy things, don't worry about anything, everything has me! ”

Seeing that Xu Ping was serious, Liu Xiaomei knew that she was really going to do a happy event for her, but calmed down: "We barbarian girls are not as particular as you Han people, if you like it, you like it, and I won't say those grievances that I don't understand." I said that I wanted to marry Brother Gao, and Brother Gao also said that I would marry me, and the happy event will be done! But I have to discuss it with Brother Gao first. ”

"Naturally, the two of you have the final say."

Xu Ping spoke, and the matter was settled. Xu Ping and Gao Daquan can be regarded as masters and servants, and they can be the master for him, and Gao Daquan now has a lot of money, and with the support of Xu Ping, a rich man, it is very easy to hold a happy event in a beautiful manner.

Xiuxiu smiled and said to Liu Xiaomei: "Sister, I said that you are a happy event, and you still talk about me." ”

Liu Xiaomei gently pushed her: "Just your mouth!" ”

Xiuxiu said: "Hmph, you originally thought so!" By the way, those songs you just sang, sing them to me again, love and love, it's actually quite good. ”

In the distance, the green mountains are continuous, the green water is entangled, and the bamboo forests are all over the distance, and the plantains are swaying. Hearing the singing, Xu Ping suddenly remembered the movie he watched in his previous life, in which a barbarian girl sang and danced in this kind of scene.

On a whim, Xu Ping said to Liu Xiaomei: "Xiuxiu is right, it's better to sing a song to listen." ”

Liu Xiaomei bowed her head and said: "We are rude, where can the officials understand?" ”

Xu Pingxing got up, where would he forget it, thought for a while and said to Liu Xiaomei: "It's okay, I'll use Chinese as the lyrics, how about you sing it?" ”

Duan Yunjie said with a smile: "It turns out that the word Jin non-commissioned officer has risen. ”

Xu Ping was a little embarrassed: "Speaking of which, I am a first-class jinshi, but I have no talent in poetry. Fortunately, there are no outsiders today, and they are not afraid of being ugly, so they will practice. ”

After thinking for a while, he said to Duan Yunjie: "Let's use the tune of "Eight Beats", let's sing one song by one, how about letting Liu Xiaomei sing it?" Speaking of Fu, you are not as good as me, and the poetry seems to be even stronger. ”

Duan Yunjie said with a smile: "Shangguan opened the golden mouth, and the little one dared to disobey his fate. ”

"Eight Beats" is originally the tune of the Yue Ren mountain song, and the Tang people took the tune into the lyrics, which was appropriate for the occasion.

Xu Ping remembered the movie "Liu Sanjie" he had seen in his previous life, and he was itchy for a while, and after thinking about it for a while, he started with the first line of the movie: "There are flowers on the top of the mountain, and the bottom of the mountain is fragrant, and the daughter by the river washes her clothes." Raise your head and shake your hands, and urgently summon your lover to see the mandarin ducks. ”

Duan Yunjie pursed her lips and smiled: "Shangguan's word is shallow, and the second sentence is not right. ”

Xu Ping has studied for many years, and the rhyme is not easy to remember, and he will not rhyme again, but the pronunciation of many words still can't be completely changed with this era.

However, Xu Ping's original intention was to compose a mountain song, the shallower the semantics, the better, and the rhythm was not too careful, so he deliberately turned his head and asked Xiuxiu: "Xiuxiu, do you say that the official is doing a good song?" ”

Xiuxiu nodded: "Okay!" It's much better than the usual singing, babbling for a long time and not knowing what they sing! I learned to make poetry with Sister Duan, and she said that Bai Letian's composition and poetry must be understood by the old woman before counting, and I can understand the words of the officials, but I can't say that the meaning of the words is shallow. ”

Duan Yunjie said with a smile: "Your master and servant ask and answer, it makes sense, so I'll do the same." There are flowers on the top of the mountain, and the love brother's daughter looks at the mandarin ducks. In this world, we will join hands by the river, and we will not forget each other. ”

The two of them wrote lyrics in couplets, and they were very happy, and Liu Xiaomei over there hummed softly, which was pleasant to the ear.

Xu Ping said again: "There are flowers on the top of the mountain, and there are lovers looking forward to becoming a pair." is not afraid of the wind and rain in this life, and accompanies you in all your lives. ”

In Xu Ping's mind, it is now the picture of the movie in his previous life, although the movie is a happy ending, part of the story prototype is a tragedy, which unconsciously brings the taste of bitter love.

Duan Yunjie's face changed, and she still followed closely: "There are flowers on the top of the mountain, and there is incense at the bottom of the mountain, and there is no hesitation in the company of affection." In this world, it is difficult to join hands, and Huangquan does not drink Meng Po soup. ”

As soon as he spoke, he hurriedly spat on the ground: "It's me who lost, this is unlucky!" ”

Xu Ping didn't have any fine thoughts about this kind of thing, but Duan Yunjie made a mistake, and his excitement did not decrease, and he said to her: "Then this one doesn't count, let's change it!" ”

Duan Yunjie smiled reluctantly: "If you want to change it, you will change it all, and say another word." 'There is a fate for a hundred years, and the red dust world is a fairy. The bright moon and fresh breeze often accompany me, and a river and clear water surround the green mountains. ’”

Xu Ping was stunned for a moment, but his thoughts couldn't keep up, and he said casually: "There is a fate for a hundred years, and we know each other and miss each other." Which ninety-seven years old died, but waited on the bridge for three years. ”

As soon as he finished reading it, Xu Ping secretly sighed in his heart. I really can't do the tricks of these romantic talents, and I made three new sentences, one sentence copied the previous paragraph Yunjie, and two sentences copied the movie of the previous life, so it's not even, this time it's not a problem with pronunciation.

Thinking of this, Xu Ping couldn't help but feel excited, and he couldn't raise his head anymore.

On the other side, Duan Yunjie was silent, not expecting Xu Ping to pronounce a sentence that was even more unlucky than her before. But why wait three years on the bridge, someone waits for me, or do you want me to wait for someone?

The sun was shining, the stream was murmuring, Duan Yunjie's vision was blurred, and he stayed there.
